(Q)) Brake system
If the warning lamp lights up, there is a fault in
the brake system.
• Brakes: stop vehicle and check brake fluid
Level
Stop the vehicle and check the brake fluid level.
Obtain professional assistance if necessary.
• Warning! Brake servo inoperative
You need to apply much more force to operate
the brakes if the brake servo fails. Obtain profesÂ
sional assistance .
• Brakes: fault. Safely stop vehicle
If the ABS indicator lamp liJ and ESC indicator
lamp DJ
light up together with the brake warnÂ
ing lamp .
and this driver message appears,
the ABS, ESC and brake force distribution sysÂ
tems have failed ¢ .&. .
• Parking brake: fault. Safely stop vehicle.
Please contact workshop
- If the warning lamp and the message appear
after you switch on the ignition when the veÂ
hicle is stationary, please check whether you
can release the parking brake. If the parking
brake cannot be released you should obtain
professional assistance. If the parking brake
can be released but the message still appears,
drive to a qualified workshop without delay and
have the fault rectified.

brake fluid level, observe the warning inforÂ
mation on ¢ page 244, Working on compoÂ
nents in the engine compartment.
- If the brake warning lamp does not go out,
or if it lights up when driving, the brake fluÂ
id level in the reservoir is too low -this may
cause an increased accident risk. Stop the
vehicle and do not drive on. Obtain profesÂ
sional assistance.
- If the brake warning lamp lights up togethÂ
er with the ABS indicator lamp and the ESC
indicator lamp, this can mean that the conÂ
trol function of the ESC/ABS is not working.

Vl Driving
In start/stop mode, the engine is switched off
automatically when the vehicle stops, e.g. at
traffic lights. The ignition remains on during this
stop phase. The engine is automatically started
on demand.
The start/stop system is automatically activated
each time you switch on the ignition.
Basic conditions for start/stop mode
- The driver's door must be closed.
- The driver's seat belt must be buckled.
- The bonnet must be closed.
- The vehicle must have been moving at over 4
km/h since the last stop.
A WARNING
- Never switch off the engine until the vehicle
is stationary. Otherwise you may not have
the full benefit of the brake servo and powÂ
er steering. You may need more strength to
steer and brake the vehicle than you norÂ
mally would. This would mean a greater risk
of accidents and serious injury, because you
cannot steer and brake in the normal manÂ
ner.
- Always take the key with you when leaving
the vehicle -even if you only intend to be
gone for a short time. This is especially imÂ
portant if children are left in the car. They
might otherwise be able to start the engine
or use power-operated equipment such as
the electric windows -this could lead to inÂ
juries.
- To avoid injury, make sure that the start/
stop system is switched off before working
in the engine compartment ¢page 73.
CD CAUTION
Always switch off the start/stop system
¢page 73 before driving through water.

while the engine is running, you must apply
the parking brake and engage the parking
lock P.
- To avoid accidents, apply the parking brake
and put the selector lever in position P beÂ
fore opening the bonnet and working on the
vehicle with the engine running. Please obÂ
serve the important safety warnings
¢ page 244, Working on components in
the engine comportment.
Ct) Note
- Drive select: You can select the sport proÂ
gram for gear changes by activating the dyÂ

- If the lever is moved accidentally to N when
driving, take your foot off the accelerator
and let the engine speed drop to idling beÂ
fore selecting Dor S again.
- It is not possible to move the selector lever
out of position P if the electrical power supÂ
ply fails. In this case, the selector lever can
be released manually. Left-hand drive

Selector lever lock
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
The selector Lever Lock prevents gears from being
engaged inadvertently, so that the vehicle is not
set in motion unintentionally.
Fig. 80 Selector lever lock
The selector lever lock is released as follows:
• Switch on the ignition.
78 •
Press the brake pedal and at the same time
press in the interlock button.
Automatic selector lever lock
The selector lever is locked in the P and N posiÂ
tions when the ignition is on. To move the selecÂ
tor lever out of these positions the driver must
press the brake pedal. To move out of position P,
the interlock button must also be pressed. The
following message appears in the display as a reÂ
minder for the driver when the selector lever is in
position P or N:
To select a gear please press brake pedal and inÂ
terlock button on gear selector lever
The selector lever lock only works if the vehicle is
stationary or driving at speeds up to 2 km/h. At
higher speeds the selector lever lock in the N poÂ
sition is disengaged automatically.
The selector lever lock is not engaged if the seÂ
lector lever is moved quickly through position N
(e.g. when shifting from R to D). This makes it
possible, for instance, to "rock" the vehicle backÂ
wards and forwards if it is stuck in snow or mud.
The selector lever lock engages automatically if
the brake pedal is not depressed and the lever is
in position N for more than about two seconds.
Interlock button
The interlock button on the selector lever handle
prevents the driver from inadvertently engaging
particular gears. The illustration shows the selecÂ
tor lever positions in which the button has to be
pressed, highlighted in colour¢ Fig. 80.
{(D) Note
- If the selector lever does not lock automatiÂ
cally, a malfunction has occurred. In this
case, the power transmission is interrupted
to prevent the vehicle from moving unintenÂ
tionally. Proceed as follows to engage the
selector lever lock again:
- Press the brake pedal briefly.
- If the vehicle does not move forwards or
backwards even though a gear is selected,
proceed as follows:

� Note
- The tyre pressure must be adjusted accordÂ
ing to the Load the vehicle is carrying
¢page 256.
-Air circulation in the vehicle helps reduce
fogging of the windows. Used air escapes
through ventilation slots in the rear of the
vehicle. Make sure that these ventilation
slots are not obstructed.
- Suitable belts for securing Loads to the fasÂ
tening rings* are commercially available.

AUDI
Fig. 186 Luggage compartment: Location of fastening
rings
� Use the fastening rings to secure items safely
in the Luggage compartment ¢.&. in Luggage
compartment on page 22 7.
During a collision or an accident, even small and
Light objects can possess so much energy that
they can cause very severe injuries. The amount
of this "kinetic energy" depends on the speed of
the vehicle and the weight of the object. The
most significant factor, however, is the speed of
the vehicle.
For example: an object weighing 4.5 kg is Lying
unsecured in the vehicle. During a frontal colliÂ
sion at a speed of 50 km/h, this object generates
a force corresponding to 20 times its weight.
That means that the effective weight of the obÂ
ject increases to about 90 kg. You can imagine
the severity of the injuries which might be sus-
228 tained
if this "projectile" strikes an occupant as it
flies through the passenger compartment.
A WARNING
If items of Luggage or other objects are seÂ
cured to the fastening rings with inappropriÂ
ate or damaged tensioning straps, injuries
could result in the event of sudden braking or
a collision.
- To prevent pieces of Luggage or other obÂ
jects from flying forward, always use approÂ
priate tensioning straps which are properly
secured to the fastening rings.
- Never secure a child seat on the fastening
rings.
Pedestrian protection
system
Description
Applies to: vehicles with pedestrian protection system
The pedestrian protection system is automaticalÂ
ly activated in the event that the front of the veÂ
hicle collides with a pedestrian. The bonnet is
raised slightly to create an additional crush zone
above the engine.
The sensors of the pedestrian protection system
are Located in the front bumper. In rare cases,
the system can be triggered because the possibilÂ
ity that a pedestrian has been hit cannot be ruled
out by the sensors, for example:
- in a collision with a signpost,
- in a collision with an animal, or
- if you drive into a pile of snow, or
- in the event of ground contact, e.g. when driv-
ing on extremely poor road surfaces.
If the system has been activated, press the bonÂ
net back into its original position ¢.&. in ServicÂ
ing the pedestrian protection system on
page 229 and have the system serviced by a
qualified workshop.
A WARNING
- Do not use an additional or replacement
number plate holder other than the original
one fitted at the front of the vehicle.
